I'm trying to repair a wall unit that was damaged during transport.
Basically a harsh stop forced the door to drop and the sudden drop
smashed the hinges and tore out some other supports.


What sort of hinges & where is the damage in relation to them? *Picky?



The hinges are a flush fitting flap hinges. They look like a number 8.
The damage to the wood isn't there though. The hinges themselves
smashed at the pin which makes them unusable now. Part metal, part
plastic these things were!! The damage to the wood is where the fall
flap stays were attached. The actual stays weren't damaged, just the
locations where they were mounted.
